Canadian-Pulp Shipments Rise
By 12% From a Year Earlier

MONTREAL -- Canadian market-pulp shipments rose 12% in May from a year earlier, reflecting stronger overseas demand, the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association said.

Shipments totaled a record 799,000 metric tons in May, up from 715,000 metric tons a year earlier, the industry group said. A metric ton is 2,204.6 pounds. While deliveries to Western Europe and other markets rose, shipments to the U.S. fell 3%, and shipments to Japan dropped by 23%.
